Blue Footed Boobies always seem to garner a snigger when people hear the name. It is thought their name derives from “bobo”, a Spanish slang term for stupid- a reference to their clumsy way of walking and how easily the birds could be captured by 18th century Spanish sailors. They often accompany sea faring vessels and have very little fear of humans. Schoolboy humor aside, I could not wait to actually see one of these birds that I had only heard about. Also, if you hit the drop-down in the top-left you can opt for the equally wonderful Booty Christmas instead, and replace the naked T's with naked A's. BirdLife International (2018).

Described as a "bold take" on the ugly sweater trend, reindeer boob entails cutting a hole in your sweater to allow for the flaunting of a boob of your choice and then putting googly eyes, antlers, and a red nose on said boob so it resembles a reindeer.

Blue-footed boobies make raucous or polysyllabic grunts or shouts and thin whistling noises. The males of the species have been known to throw up their heads and whistle at a passing, flying female. These ritual displays are also a form of communication. The natural breeding habitats of the blue-footed booby are the tropical and subtropical islands of the Pacific Ocean. It can be found from the Gulf of California south along the western coasts of Central and South America to Peru. About half of all breeding pairs nest on the Galápagos Islands. [3] Its diet mainly consists of fish, which it obtains by diving and sometimes swimming under water in search of its prey. It sometimes hunts alone, but usually hunts in groups.

Although calls differed between sexes, unique individual signatures were present. Both males and females can discriminate the calls of their mates from others.
